Strong's Lexicon madduach: Scattering, dispersal Original Word: מַדּוּחַ Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּחַ (duach), meaning "to push away" or "to drive away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in words like διασπορά (diaspora), which also refers to scattering or dispersion, particularly of the Jewish people among the nations. Usage: The term "madduach" refers to the act of scattering or dispersal. It is used in contexts where there is a sense of being driven away or spread out, often implying a negative connotation of being scattered due to judgment or divine intervention. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of scattering was often associated with divine judgment. The Israelites understood their covenant relationship with God to include blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, one of which was being scattered among the nations (Deuteronomy 28:64). This scattering was seen as a form of punishment and a call to repentance.
